Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 248 I Could Swim

Candice’s POV:

Reporters swarmed around Rosaline and Jasper.

After all, everyone had just witnessed the two of them getting cozy and intimate on the lawn.

“Jasper, what exactly is your relationship with Ms. Sinclair?”

“Jasper, today is your birthday, yet you’re spending it alone with Ms. Sinclair. Does that mean there’s something special between you two?”

“Ms. Sinclair, how do you respond to Ms. Reese’s accusation that you’re a homewrecker?”

“Ms. Sinclair … ”

Jasper’s face darkened as he stood protectively in front of Rosaline. Clearing his throat, he spoke in a low, steady voice. “This is nothing but baseless speculation. I will be making a public statement on the matter later.”

A reporter pressed further. “Jasper, what kind of public statement are you referring to?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.” Jasper shielded Rosaline behind him, his voice unwavering.

The fact that he was still defending Rosaline at a time like this was infuriating.

I stepped forward and ordered the werewolf bodyguards I had brought with me. “What are you waiting for? Teach that shameless vixen a lesson!”

I was going to make sure Rosaline paid for what she had done that day.

“Understood, Miss!” The werewolf bodyguards responded in unison, immediately surrounding Rosaline.

“Stay back!” Jasper spread his arms, protecting Rosaline with his body.

“Jasper, this has nothing to do with you!” I snapped, grabbing his arm and yanking him aside.

At the same time, the werewolf bodyguards closed in on Rosaline from all directions.
